In Friday’s loss to the Brooklyn Nets, the Raptors apparent deficiencies came to a head, as Kawhi Leonard tried to lead an otherwise mostly-struggling roster to the promised land, as the team lost 106-105 in overtime.
No time to warm up against another bad opponent, though — certainly not during this tough stretch. The Raptors are home again, yes, but they prepare to take on the Milwaukee Bucks and burgeoning MVP candidate Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Bucks come in 16-8 and third in the East, as the Raptors look for another statement win at 21-6 against a good team.
